NetworkWorld Asia CISO Awards 2017

Held in conjunction with NetworkWorld Asia’s 12th Readers’ Choice Awards, the inaugural NetworkWorld Asia CISO Awards 2017 seeks to recognize enterprises and organizations – and their security leaders – that have demonstrated innovative and/or future-ready deployment of security technologies and solutions in the last 12-18 months, particularly in securing infrastructure and information, protecting users’ identities and privacy in cyberspace, defending against internal and external threats, and mitigating the resulting risks.

A total of 6 categories will be awarded, decided by an esteemed panel of judges, with a 7th overall winner from among the 6 based on the highest overall score from the judges winning the prestigious CISO of the Year Award.
